Hey, welcome to Thermal Paste Diaries, I am Mackenzie Dupuis, and this week I built a PC with a budget I was not allowed to break: eight hundred Canadian dollars, taxes included, every part bought at a real store at a real price. No review samples, no discounts. The goal was a machine that plays current games at 1080p without apologising. I will walk you through every part, why it got the money it got, the two places I nearly messed up, and then the benchmarks in six games, read out plainly with no spin. If you are building your first machine, or helping someone who is, this is the episode. The full parts list is on the episode page. You are listening on Witspeak Podcasts. Let's open some boxes.
